What Should You Do?
If you received a notice from Brome Bird Care Inc., you should act quickly to protect yourself. Because Social Security Numbers were involved, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—to help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. Review your credit reports for any unfamiliar accounts or inquiries by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com, where you are entitled to free reports from each bureau.

If Brome Bird Care Inc. offers identity theft protection services as part of its notification, enroll promptly and note any enrollment deadline.
